      Designer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Virgin Atlantic

      Interview

      I applied direct through the online recruitment website, it was just over a month afterwards that I received an email inviting me to book an interview slot online. In my interview I was asked competency and behavioural based questions. It was a new experience for me as being a creative I have never had an interview that formal before. Unfortunately because of the style of interview (not allowing room for creativity, feeling very scripted and heavily question orientated) I didn't feel I could express my true self as a creative and I decided against proceeding with my application. As a member of the Virgin group, especially in the creative field I guess I expected a more creative vibe but that wasn't the case. That's probably down to the hiring process more than the company but it felt very corporate and not what I've come to experience of a Virgin brand. It is important for me to feel at ease in an interview but unfortunately the interview made me feel very on edge, and I didn't feel I was the right fit for the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions asked were very specific to situations and how I reacted and dealt with them. I can't remember all of the questions off the top of my head as there were a lot of them and most if not all of them were very detailed focussing in on specific themes. If I'm being totally honest, it was quite overwhelming as it's the first time in 7 years I have experienced an interview like this, which was part of the reason I deemed the company not to be right for the kind of role I am looking for.
